[Verse 1]
G Em Cadd9 Em
God of love You came to earth
D Cadd9 G
Born in a manger, the incarnate Word
Em Cadd9 Em
Full of grace, and full of truth
D Cadd9 G
You healed the leper, You made all things new
D Em Cadd9 G
Religion despised Your word of love
D Em Cadd9 G
Condemned You to die in Your innocence
Em Cadd9 Em
A crown of thorns and mockery
D Cadd9 G
Were Yours my Saviour, my precious King
[Interlude]
G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G
[Verse 2]
G Em Cadd9 Em
Stained with blood and bruised with pain
D Cadd9 G
The Lamb of God on a cross of shame
Em Cadd9 Em
Never before and never again
D Cadd9 G
Was love so great, was death so grim
D Em Cadd9 G
There on the hill You died for me
D Em Cadd9 G
You took my sin, gave me liberty
Em Cadd9 Em
I'll never boast but in Your cross
D Cadd9 G
And all my gains I now count as loss
[Interlude]
G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G
[Verse 3]
G Em Cadd9 Em
When sins they rob my heart of joy
D Cadd9 G
And condemnation seems to steal even more
Em Cadd9 Em
This I recall, You rose again
D Cadd9 G
And I rose with You, hallelujah amen
D Em Cadd9 G
So if I live in want, or die in shame
D Em Cadd9 G
To live is You and to die is gain
Em Cadd9 Em
I in You and You in me
D Cadd9 G
My God, my Brother, my Identity
[Verse 4]
G Em
Were I tempted with the best of earth
Cadd9 Em
All it's pleasures and all it's gold
D
And if fame in all it's kingdoms
Cadd9 G
Was in my hands to hold
Em
I'd scorn it all for You've given me
Cadd9 Em
The treasure of Your Son
D
And now I'm richer than the richest
Cadd9 G
For You've given me Your love
